Update image rotator .xml config file without refresh

I have a 3D model being rendered on my site through an image rotator .xml config file. This feature works but I am attempting to render a completely different .xml in place of the previous file through a JS on change event.
I have done a fair bit of reading in order to solve this issue, although I have not found an answer. I have already tried to make the JQuery script into a function as seen below:
function updateModel(xml_file_path) {
console.log('updating room model...');
console.log('xml_file_path: ' + xml_file_path);
// clear past model
$("#wr360PlayerId").empty();
jQuery('#wr360PlayerId').rotator({
licenseFileURL: 'license.lic',
configFileURL: '/static/360_assets/' + xml_file_path,
graphicsPath: '/static/img/basic',
zIndexLayersOn: false,
responsiveBaseWidth: 600,
responsiveMinHeight: 0,
googleEventTracking: false,
});
console.log('rendering: ' + xml_file_path);
}
// clears the old model then updates the configFileURL to the new model
This was successful in clearing the previous model although when I inspect the new model the images used by the image rotator are not being loaded and nothing is displayed.
wr360 documentation
I've also read through the documentation for wr360 above and found a few different ways of loading the image rotator on my site. I've gone through each and attempted to make it update using similar methods as JQuery but each had their own oddities that were difficult to overcome.
There's not much to code to this as for most of it is created dynamically on page load, but I'll try to provide all code necessary below:
js
function updateModel(xml_file_path) {
console.log('updating room model...');
console.log('xml_file_path: ' + xml_file_path);
// clear past model
$("#wr360PlayerId").empty();
jQuery('#wr360PlayerId').rotator({
licenseFileURL: 'license.lic',
configFileURL: '/static/360_assets/' + xml_file_path,
graphicsPath: '/static/img/basic',
zIndexLayersOn: false,
responsiveBaseWidth: 600,
responsiveMinHeight: 0,
googleEventTracking: false,
});
console.log('rendering: ' + xml_file_path);
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#rooms').on('change', function() {
updateModel(room.xml_path);
console.log('model updated');
});
});
// truncated for simplicity
html
<div id="wr360PlayerId" class="wr360_player" style="background-color:#FFFFFF;">
</div>
The xml file path is getting passed correctly (checked by the console.log('xml_file_path: ' + xml_file_path);) it just doesn't render the second rotator.
$('#rooms') is a select field, and room.xml_path is the selected rooms .xml file path. With this being said, ideally, the on change event would show the selected model and if the selection changes again it should render the new model (instead of nothing like it currently does).
Either I am missing something or it is impossible to update a model without refreshing the page, either way, any help is appreciated!

You can actually use,
apiObj.reload(xml_path);
to simply reload the image rotator with a new xml file path.

Jupyter: Move cell to top of notebook

Often I realize halfway through a notebook that I forgot an import and I want to move it to the top of the notebook (where I try to keep most of my imports). Is there a way to add a keyboard shortcut to ~/.jupyter/custom/custom.js that moves a cell to the top of a notebook?
Currently I do this by cutting the cell, scrolling to the top of the notebook, pasting and scrolling back down to where I was (often losing my place on the way back).
Below is some code from fastai forums to accomplish a different task: going to the running cell:
Jupyter.keyboard_manager.command_shortcuts.add_shortcut('CMD-I', {
help : 'Go to Running cell',
help_index : 'zz',
handler : function (event) {
setTimeout(function() {
// Find running cell and click the first one
if ($('.running').length > 0) {
//alert("found running cell");
$('.running')[0].scrollIntoView();
}}, 250);
return false;
}
});

It's partially documented; however you have to know a little JavaScript to create a keyboard shortcut.
As you've figured out, edit custom.js to bind a keyboard shortcut, as mentioned in the documentation (the second method must be used if the action is not built-in)
For the documentation, read the source code (either online or in site-packages/notebook/static/notebook/js/*.js if you installed jupyter locally). In particular, actions.js contains example bindings and notebook.js contains the functions that you can call on the notebook.
This is an example. It has the disadvantage of modifying the jupyter clipboard. To avoid that, you might be able to look into the source code of notebook.move_cell_down function to see how it's implemented, and modify it correspondingly.
Jupyter.keyboard_manager.command_shortcuts.add_shortcut('cmdtrl-I', {
help : 'Move cell to first in notebook',
handler : function (env) {
var index = env.notebook.get_selected_index();
env.notebook.cut_cell();
env.notebook.select(0);
env.notebook.paste_cell_above();
env.notebook.select(index);
}
});

DataTable Fixed Header at page bottom (on first page load)

I have a DataTable with FixedHeader option that has the following initialization populated in my $(document).ready function. Both the headerOffset values that are jquery looked-up and hard-coded at 40 have been attempted, with the same results.
"fixedHeader": {
// "headerOffset": $("#top-navbar").outerHeight()
"headerOffset": 40
},
The DataTable is populated from an ajax call and has a series of my own render: functions on half of the columnDefs but I don't think that's related.
I'm not sure why, but the first time the page is loaded, the fixedHeader doesn't follow the top of the screen - but is sitting at the very bottom of the page below the table. When I click refresh - the header works just fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, and in the absence of a satisfactory solution, my current workaround is to trigger a window resize event that will make the Datatable make rendering recalculations:
table.DataTable({
// ...
drawCallback: function() {
$(window).resize();
}
});

How to use tablesorter plugins cssStickyHeaders widget?

$.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
var options = {
sortList: [
[1, 1]
],
theme: 'ice',
widgets: ['zebra', 'cssStickyHeaders'],
};
$("#myTable").tablesorter(options);
});
I use tablesorter and need to use cssStickyHeaders widget but I have two problems that I could not fix.
1) I have another sticky header on my page, and I need this tables sticky header to appear under it. I tried to understand widget options parameters from here but could not make it work.
2) CSS does not update automatically, so I have to turn on and off the developer tools in browser to make it work, to make the header move. In example everything works but it doesn't work with my page, though I do everything in the same way as it is presented in the example.
I am new to javascript. I hope someone will help me.

ExtJS: starting HtmlEditor defaulting to source

I'm using ExtJS 3.2.1 and I need a component almost identical to the bundled HtmlEditor, with one exception: it must start editing the HTML source code directly. The reason I don't use a normal TextArea is that the user should be able to preview the result of his actions before submitting.
I've tried calling toggleSourceEdit(), as per ExtJS documentation, with no success. Debugging, I see that the editor object has the sourceEditMode property set to true, and the Source Edit button seems as if it was "pressed", but clicking on it does not render the typed HTML, and clicking it again goes to the Source Mode.
I've tried calling toggleSourceEdit() after the container show() method, on the container afterLayout listener and on the editor afterRender listener. I've tried also calling it on another button that I added to the container. The result is the same on every try.
The only other option I see is updating ExtJS to 3.3.0, but I haven't seem anything related on the changelogs. Either way, it's going to be my next step. EDIT: The app had another problems when updating, we'll make a bigger effort to update later. As of right now, we are using the HtmlEditor in its original setting.
Thanks!

ran into the same problem (using 3.3.0 by the way)
stumbled upon a fix by dumb luck. i have no idea why this works, but second time is the charm. call it twice in a row to achieve the desired effect..
HTMLEditor.toggleSourceEdit(true);
HTMLEditor.toggleSourceEdit(true);
hope that helps!

Rather calling toggleSourceEdit(), try to setup the configuration while you create HtmlEditor Object

Using toggleSourceEdit() caused some problems for me. One was that this seemed to put the editor somewhere in limbo between source edit and WYSIWYG mode unless I used a timeout of 250ms or so. It also puts the focus in that editor, and I don't want to start the form's focus in the editor, especially since it's below the fold and the browser scrolls to the focused html editor when it opens.
The only thing that worked for me was to extend Ext.form.HtmlEditor and then overwrite toggleSourceEdit, removing the focus command. Then adding a listener for toggling to the source editor when the component is initialized. This is for Ext 4.1 and up. For older versions, replace me.updateLayout() with me.doComponentLayout().
var Namespace = {
SourceEditor: Ext.define('Namespace.SourceEditor', {
extend: 'Ext.form.HtmlEditor',
alias: 'widget.sourceeditor',
initComponent: function() {
this.callParent(arguments);
},
toggleSourceEdit: function (sourceEditMode) {
var me = this,
iframe = me.iframeEl,
textarea = me.textareaEl,
hiddenCls = Ext.baseCSSPrefix + 'hidden',
btn = me.getToolbar().getComponent('sourceedit');
if (!Ext.isBoolean(sourceEditMode)) {
sourceEditMode = !me.sourceEditMode;
}
me.sourceEditMode = sourceEditMode;
if (btn.pressed !== sourceEditMode) {
btn.toggle(sourceEditMode);
}
if (sourceEditMode) {
me.disableItems(true);
me.syncValue();
iframe.addCls(hiddenCls);
textarea.removeCls(hiddenCls);
textarea.dom.removeAttribute('tabindex');
//textarea.focus();
me.inputEl = textarea;
} else {
if (me.initialized) {
me.disableItems(me.readOnly);
}
me.pushValue();
iframe.removeCls(hiddenCls);
textarea.addCls(hiddenCls);
textarea.dom.setAttribute('tabindex', -1);
me.deferFocus();
me.inputEl = iframe;
}
me.fireEvent('editmodechange', me, sourceEditMode);
me.updateLayout();
}
})
}
Then to use it:
Ext.create('Namespace.SourceEditor', {
/*regular options*/
listeners: {
initialize: function(thisEditor) {
thisEditor.toggleSourceEdit();
}
}
});

htmlEditor.toggleSourceEdit(true);
one time should be enough if you do this listening to the afterrender event of the editor.
